Mediaite reports on CNN’s Brooke Baldwin delivering an account of Sarah’s encapsulation today of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

In Sarah’s version, Revere was

“He who warned, uh, the…the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringin’ those bells and um by makin’ sure that as he’s ridin’ his horse through town to send those warnin’ shots and bells that  uh we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free…and we were gonna be armed.”

Oh, my.  Were Sarah’s version correct, the U.S. might still be a British colony today.

We certainly wouldn’t have won the Revolutionary War.

First of all, Sarah:   Revere wasn’t warning “the British” of anything.   He was warning the rebels about the British army’s nighttime advance.

Second, the whole point of Revere’s ride from Boston to Lexington (his destination was Concord, but he didn’t make it) was that it was secret. Because the Middlesex County countryside was rife with British supporters, Revere virtually whispered his warnings that the King’s forces were crossing the Charles River on the night of April 18-19, 1775 to launch an attack upon the American rebels.

Ringing bells and sending warning shots while on a clandestine mission?  To warn the British that they “weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms?”

Was this the version of American history that Sarah learned in Wasilla public schools, and as the daughter of her schoolteacher/father Chuck Heath?  Where she also learned that the earth was only six thousand years old and that men and dinosaurs walked it together?

Paul Revere didn’t “warn, uh, the British” of anything.  He warned our side that the British army was advancing, in order that the rebels of Lexington and Concord would not be taken by surprise.

Ah, Never mind.  If a person truly believes that God has “annointed” and “mantled” her to become president of the U.S. in order to prepare our nation for the imminent return of Jesus Christ (which Sarah does, as I make clear in THE ROGUE,) then what difference does it make whether Paul Revere warned the British or the Americans?

After all, back then they were all Christians, and that’s what counted.

And because the end of the world as we know it will occur during Sarah’s lifetime here on earth, pretty soon there won’t be anyone around to remember.

What’s Paul Revere gonna do about that?
